    The Oxford Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory

    The Oxford Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory has been published. The Oxford office space directory can be seen here In 2025, Oxford’s total office letting take-up dropped 24 per cent compared to the previous year and was 22 per cent below the city’s five-year annual take-up average. However, as seen across other locations in the UK, the flight to quality continued, and demand for best-in-class brand-new space remained strong. This was evidenced by Mishcon de Reya’s acquisition at The Red Hall, Oxford North. Oxford continues to position itself as a global science cluster and posted a record year of lab space take-up, boosted by activity at The Oxford Science Park. Plans of The Crown Estate to transform the former Debenhams store on Magdalen Street in the city centre into a 100,000 square foot science and technology hub were also approved in March 2026. Whilst the demand for the very best office space remains strong, as occupiers simultaneously seek efficient, ESG-conscious space that makes the commute worth it for employees, the supply of brand-new prime office space in Oxford remains constrained. In Q1 2026, Oxford had a supply of just 29,000 square feet of brand-new workspace, with schemes in the development pipeline set to complete in 2027. We published the Oxford Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory to highlight the 20 office providers and workspace operators offering turnkey flexible business space solutions in Oxford city centre and out-of-town locations, including Aristotle Lane, Botley Road, Milton Park, New Road, Oxford Business Park, Oxford Science Park, St Aldates, and Woodstock Road. The flex space brands within the directory offer immediately available flexible workspace solutions in 30 buildings in Oxford, all of which are featured.

    The Bolton Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory

    The Bolton Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory is now live. The Bolton office space directory can be seen here We have published the directory as the town stands on the brink of what Bolton Council describes as a “once in a lifetime” transformation. Bolton, like many towns and cities across the UK, has been experiencing a shortage of brand-new office space due to the macroeconomic pressures on developers. However, as part of the Bolton2040 Borough Plan, one of the first regeneration projects under its umbrella is about to get underway. In February, it was announced that developers had been chosen to redevelop the 4-acre site of the Crompton Place Shopping Centre, and that ground would be broken immediately. The Crompton Place scheme will deliver up to 340 homes, a 110-room hotel, 5,000 square feet of ground-floor leisure space, and 80,000 square feet of brand-new office space upon completion. Demolition and site clearance are due to start early in 2026and are anticipated to take approximately 1 year. The redevelopment of the strategically important town centre site is a critical piece of Bolton Council’s £1.5 billion masterplan for the town centre. Whilst this is positive for Bolton’s pipeline, there remains a shortage of immediately available workspace in the town. We published the Bolton Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory to highlight the seven office providers and flexible workspace operators currently offering high-quality plug-and-play office space solutions across eight buildings in Bolton. These ready-to-use business space solutions, such as serviced private offices, managed office spaces and coworking options, are available in locations across the Greater Manchester town, including Bark Street, Calvin Street, Chorley New Road, Deakins Business Park, Silverwell Street and Spa Road.

    The Chester Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory

    The Chester Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory has been published. The Chester office space directory can be seen here With a slightly different theme than usual, we have published the directory, as Chester’s retail market hits the headlines with the welcome of a new iconic tenant. Browns of Chester, the upscale department store established in 1780 and historically dubbed the ‘Harrods of the North’, closed in May 2021. However, its Grade I listed historic home on Eastgate Street has welcomed a new tenant in Q1 2026 – Harrods. Chester has several historic links with London, including across various areas of commercial real estate, and this podcast will explore some of them. Like many cities across the UK, the vacancy rate in Chester’s office market is forecast to decline over the coming years, particularly for brand new high-quality stock, as developers continue to face adverse operating conditions. We published the Chester Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory to highlight the six office providers and flexible workspace operators currently offering high-quality plug-and-play workspace solutions across seven properties in Chester. These ready-to-go business space solutions, such as private serviced offices, self-contained managed office suites and coworking spaces, are available in locations across the historic county town of Cheshire, including Chester Business Park, Handbridge, Hough Green, Saltney, Sealand Road and Sovereign Way.

    The Edinburgh Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory

    The Edinburgh Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory has gone live. The Edinburgh office space directory can be seen here Edinburgh’s take-up figure in terms of leasehold office space acquired by tenants was just over 490,000 square feet, which was below the market’s 10-year average. At just under 89,000 square feet, the Q3 take-up had declined by 30 per cent compared to the previous quarter and was 53 per cent below its 10-year average. Although Edinburgh faced the same macroeconomic challenges as other cities around the UK and the world, the relative lack of leasing activity was also attributed to Edinburgh’s shortage of high-quality new office space, specifically the space offering large, modern floor plates demanded by tenants. This analysis was somewhat confirmed by the fact that there were over 250,000 square feet of lease extensions and regears in Edinburgh in 2025, highlighting pent-up activity. Developers in Edinburgh face the same challenges as those in other locations, and as a result, the development pipeline remains somewhat suppressed. Refurbishments of existing buildings are ongoing; however, the Grade A vacancy rate stood at 0.8 per cent, among the lowest of the Big Nine UK cities. We compiled the Edinburgh Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory to profile the 26 office providers and flexible workspace operators offering immediately available business space options, including serviced private offices, self-contained managed office suites, floors and buildings, fully fitted offices, and coworking space in the Scottish Capital. The flexible alternatives to traditional leasehold offices are available across 37 buildings in Edinburgh, including Albany Street, Exchange Place, Fountainbridge, George Street, Leith, Lochrin Square, Princes Street, Rutland Square, St Andrew Square, and Quartermile, many of which are Grade A office buildings, and all are featured in the directory.

    The Newcastle Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory

    The Newcastle Office Space and Flexible Workspace Providers Directory has gone live. The Newcastle Upon Tyne office space directory can be seen here Newcastle Upon Tyne experienced a record first half to 2025 in terms of office lettings activity.  This translated into an H1 take-up figure that outperformed its 10-year average by 37 per cent, the best H1 since 2019. These levels had been boosted by significant pre-let deals, including HMRC’s and others at Pilgrim Place. The activity at the top end of the market, created by a widely seen flight to quality and competition for best-in-class office space, led to Newcastle having amongst the lowest levels of Grade A space, with a vacancy rate of just 0.7 per cent at the end of 2025. We compiled the directory to highlight the 16 office providers and workspace operators in Newcastle offering immediately available, plug-and-play business space across 22 buildings in the Tyneside city, including Market Street, Pilgrim Street, Quayside, Quorum Business Park, and St James Gate, many of which are Grade A office buildings.
